Pacific Basin Dry Bulk – 2012 performance

Handysize

  • Handysize daily rate: US$10,460 (-23% YOY)
  • PB outperformed spot market by 44%
  • Respectable performance reflects value of our industrial and

customer-focused business model Handymax

  • Handymax daily rate: US$11,720 (-22% YOY)
  • PB Outperformed spot market by 31%
  • Our reliance on relatively expensive medium-term chartered

ships in the depressed market resulted in a modest albeit positive Handymax contribution overall Post-Panamax

  • 2 Post-Panamax ships continue to operate satisfactorily

under long-term charters Further investment in dry bulk

  • Since September 2012, we have acquired for US$122m:
  • 6 secondhand Handysize ships
  • 1 secondhand Handymax ship
  • 1 Handysize newbuilding resale

2012 Chinese Minor Bulk Imports

2012 2011 2010

China imports of a basket of 7 important minor bulks : logs, soyabean, fertiliser, bauxite, nickel, copper concentrates and manganese ore – representing 1/3 of Pacific Basin’s 2012 cargo volumes

Chinese Imports increased 7% in 2012 Dry Bulk Effective Demand

  • Overall dry bulk demand increased 7%
  • Demand growth influenced by:
  • Expanded volumes on high-volume major bulk trade routes
  • Chinese imports of seven important minor bulks increased 7% - lending strong

support to global demand for smaller ships

  • Logs trade was impacted by a slowdown in Chinese property sector

2012 Annual Results

Pacific Basin Dry Bulk - Outlook

  • Still excessive, but reduced, overhang of supply

+ shipbuilding capacity

  • Global economic recovery negatively impacted

by further shocks relating to European finances and US government spending

  • Premature shipowner optimism resulting in less

scrapping, increased ordering activity and increased vessel prices

  • Increased national protectionism impacting raw

materials trade

  • Potentially weaker growth in the Chinese

economy and industrial production

  • Strong Chinese demand for minor bulk

commodities

  • Global trade imbalances and fleet utilisation

inefficiencies

  • Stronger than anticipated US economic recovery

and revived industrialisation in N. America

  • Fewer newbuilding deliveries
  • Continued high levels of dry bulk scrapping
  • Bank lending constraints limit funding for ship

acquisitions PB Outlook:

  • Dry bulk market to remain weak overall in 2013 though healthier fundamentals should limit further

downside in Handysize

  • Dry cargo demand is likely to be similarly healthy as last year
  • Supply-side fundamentals are improving, but will take time to absorb oversupply
  • Challenging market conditions likely to generate further acquisition opportunities

Strategy:

  • Invest in high-quality Handysize and Handymax ships
  • Expand our dry bulk customer and cargo portfolio
  • Decentralise our operational support function

2012 Annual Results

2012 Performance

  • Continued strong demand for marine logistics from oil & gas projects
  • Good growth in harbour towage sector
  • PB Towage results have continued to strengthen due to:
  • Improved market conditions
  • Our increased market presence and penetration

Offshore Towage

  • Western Australia and Queensland oil & gas developments continued

to drive demand for offshore marine logistics

  • North West Shelf LNG construction projects have progressed further
  • Some increase in demand in Middle East market, but remains difficult

due to excessive supply Harbour Towage

  • Supported by 11% increase in volumes and higher market share in

the main liner and bulk ports Supply

  • Barrier to entry for new entrants in Australian domestic market

2012 Towage net profit US$37.7m Operating cash flow US$52.1m Return on net assets 17%

35 Tugs (31 Owned + 4 Chartered) 7 Barges (6 Owned + 1 Chartered) 1 owned bunker tanker and 1 chartered passenger/supply vessel PB Towage Fleet: 44 vessels (as at 25 Feb 2013)

slide-11
SLIDE 11

2012 Annual Results

PB Towage - Outlook

  • Hesitation in global economy recovery and

Chinese slowdown – impacting Australian port activity

  • Labour market shortages and cost

pressures

  • Exchange rate movements affecting

Australia’s global competitiveness

  • Growing project activity in Australasia and

construction support both domestically in Australia and internationally

  • Increased exploration and production leading

to demand for platform support services

  • Continued growth in Australian bulk export

volumes

  • International transportation into Australian

driving increased harbour towage jobs in container ports PB Outlook:

  • Well positioned competitively to participate in offshore and harbour opportunities as market develops
  • Expected to be an important contributor to Group results in 2013

Strategy:

  • To grow our towage businesses focusing on opportunities in expanding offshore support and bulk port

towage activity

  • Recent decision to enter the Port of Newcastle

Our Position, Outlook and Strategy

  • Focus on our two core businesses – we are now out of most non core activities

Dry Bulk

  • Strong cargo and customer focused business model: outperforming market, outperforming larger ships
  • Expect the dry bulk market weakness of 2012 to continue through 2013
  • Market needs longer to absorb over-supply before sustained recovery becomes apparent
  • Acquisition opportunities for shipowners with available cash
  • Strategy: i) Continue to purchase Handysize and Handymax ships at attractive prices

ii) Expand our dry bulk customer and cargo portfolio in tandem with our core fleet expansion iii) Enhance aspects of the customer experience through decentralised operational support Towage

  • Well positioned competitively to participate in developing opportunities in Australia + internationally
  • Strategy: Grow our towage businesses focusing in opportunities in expanding offshore support

and bulk port towage activity
